Use of Technogenic Additives in Facade Ceramic Tiles Production

Abstract

The researches’ results show that it is possible to obtain a ceramic crock, which water absorption meets the requirements of facade ceramic tiles at a charge firing temperature of 1150 ° C, consisting of 60% low-melting and 40% refractory clay raw materials from deposits in the Novosibirsk Region. Additives influence nature of directed action was studied: wollastonite and cullet by the mathematical planning method of the experiment. It was found that the introduction of additives helps to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the ceramic crock. The introduction of 10% cullet allows increasing the tensile strength by 10.3% compression and reducing water 27.1% absorption. The amount of 15% wollastonite contributes to a greater increase in mechanical strength and a decrease in water absorption, compared with the control composition. The joint introduction of mineral additives leads to a decrease in tensile strength.
